Link A Button To Open A Form In Ms Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview?
Feb 10, 2012
I am developing a next gen App for my Email Client for future Windows 8 users. Now when i used to use Visual Studio (Visual Basic) 2008 to develop for Windows 7, I used the command "FORMNAME.show()" And that command would open the form.The Problem i am having now is that "SHOW" is not included and im guessing that there has to be another way to do this. For the Beta version of my app, i created a test Button that i want to open a "SplitPage1" the button is called " btnOpen"?Now to give you an idea what i wanna do, i made buttons on the top right hand corner that are called "File , Edit , View" and so on, and when the user clicks file, i want a spiltpage to open with all the options the user would regularly have when clicking file on a menu tab in a program. the options would be lined up on the left hand side when you hover over lets say "New Email" on the right hand side there will be a short description that will appear saying "create a new email to send" and when clicked on it will take the user back to the mainPage and it redirect the browser to "SendnewEmail url".
Basically, the question is: Where (and in which format) should I store textual developer documentation associated with my Visual Studio projects?
To elaborate: XML comments are great, but they don't cover all use cases. Sometimes, you'd like to describe the class architecture of the project at a high level, add usage notes to your library or just leave any other kind of message to future generations of developers working on this project.
I'd like to add these documents directly as files into the Visual Studio project, to ensure (a) that they are available to the developer without further searching and (b) they are version controlled (using the same svn/git/whatever repository as the source code).
Currently, I add a folder _Documentation to the project and use text files, but I'm not sure if this is the best solution. Visual Studio does not have an option for automatically word-wrapping text1, and manually fixing line breaks after each change is annoying. On the other hand, Word documents don't work well with version control, and TeX is too much of a hassle to set up and teach on each developer PC.
Is there a well-established best practice for this?
1 I know that there's Edit/Advanced/Word-Wrap, but this only affects the display, not the file itself.
I had a Visual studio 2008 but my subject is VB.NET; It was said to me that it is ok. I don't know where to go to open a form like in Visual studio 2005.
I want to put a button on my Visual Web developer 2005 Express edition page (one single web page) that will close the internet web browser (IE 7 being used), when my users click on the closed button. I need to write visual basic code to closer the browser but haven't found an example that explains how to do this in code. Can someone give me an exmaple of how to accomplish this in Visual Basic Code.Paul Mayer
How do I remove the maximize button from a form? I've already disabled it but it still shows up, it just doesn't work. I want a form with only the close and minimize buttons. It's a Windows Form Application and I'm using Visual Studio 2010.
Is it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?
The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.
How to create a Random quiz? I use groupboxes for every questions that i have because it has 10 items per quiz then i have 10 groupboxes. Another problem is, i was planning to create a .swf file in my visual studio project actually a button to make it more fascinating to use but it is possible to have a .swf file on my project and every time i click the button on ".swf" file the visual studio form will appear.
When I'm in VS2008, and I go to File > Open Project/Solution, it won't let me select a .vbp file type when I have it set to Objects of type "All Project Files (*.sln; *.dsw; *.vcw; *.rptproj; *.dwp" (it looks like it's cut off at that point). Why can't I open a .vbp file with Visual Studio 2008?
what i did was i use a select statement in opening multiple IE just for testing but the main function is what you put number on a textbox then the number the IE's will open for example i put 100 on textbox then when i click a button then 100 IE's will open so if im going to use select statement when opening 100 IE my code will be crazy...

In Visual Studio, how can I open a source file (from another project) in read-only mode? I want to copy some code from it, but I don't want to modify it by mistake.I don't want to change the file's attributes to read-only, as I will not be able to work on it later, unless I clear read-only.

I have a VB application that uses databases and writes information onto an Excel-file. I have the Excel-file in my Project folder(Visual Studio 2008ProjectsProjectXProjectXExcel objektitListy.xls)Every time I open up my project I get the following error:[code]The thing is, I don't know why the error starts up in the first place. Why is the VS 'unable to open the module file' even though it exists in that folder and can be opened normally?Also, why does the error disappear when the file is opened manually from the containing folder?
Stupid question, but how do I get access to this Explorer? The says: To create a performance session for Windows client application:
(1) Open the solution in the Visual Studio IDE.
(2) On the <B>Analyze</B> menu, click <B>Launch Performance Wizard</B>.
(3) From the <B>Which of the following available targets would you like to profile?</B> drop-down list, select the name of the application that you want to profile, and then click <B>Next</B>. You can add more binaries later.
(4) Accept the default Sampling profiling method, and then click Next.
(5) Click <B>Finish</B>.
Only problem is that there is no <B>Analyze</B> menu in the IDE.
I'm in the proccess of creating an XML editor nothing fancy for a project I'm working on!
I got the idea of using the tab control to host multiple Richtexbox controls, nothing fancy.
I got the idea from Visual studio(2010) that it would be nice to have a close tab button, on the tab, but I can on get it to display on the tab
Code: Dim CurrentTab As TabPage = TabControl1.TabPages(e.Index) Dim ItemRect As Rectangle = TabControl1.GetTabRect(e.Index) If CurrentTab.Controls.Contains(mButton) = False Then
[Code].....
I know it adds it to the Tabpage but I cannot find anyway to add to the tab itself, even though the text on the tab is using ItemRect!
Are the tabs themselves hidden like columnls are on other controls!
i have a webbrowser1 which cannot navigate from the link it is set up to, and cannot open new links in other windows, i need something like if get the URL Google.com when it clicked a link on the current site, then Form2.Show(). Link here <-- when clicked open form2 if its yahoo opens form3.
I am a new vb user and I have the beta of Visual studio 2010.I have to make a button redirect to another form IN THE SAME FOLDER [code]Now, I assume that if I dont want to mess with the code, I need to click the buttn, go into the properties, events,click.What identifier should go into the click box so that it will automattically open up a file in the same folder?
